I admit to being flummoxed by the
suddenness of the hate campaign against Israel by, not only Europe,
which here-to-fore had at least worn a public face of contrition for what
happened to Jews during Hitler, but also from the Jewish community in
the United States. Even as Cindy Sheehan was embracing Iranian
and Palestinians who vowed to annihilate Israel, Hollywood's elite Jews
were feting her. WTF? Here, Michael Medved supplies a possible reason for The Hidden Basis For Hostility To Israel And America

In other words, for trendy liberals who feel profound, instinctive
distaste for the influence of armies and organized faith in human life,
it’s only natural to feel somewhat uncomfortable with Israel.
The same attitudes, by
the way, help to explain some of the fashionable anti-Americanism
that’s taken hold among European and other international elites.
Religion remains a vastly more potent force in the U.S. than in any
other Western nation, and our military remains far larger, more potent
and more revered than the armies of other major nations. Those who love
to denounce the impact of militarism and organized faith will
inevitably find much to dislike about America – and about our close
ally in the Middle East.
